Clone High style animated sitcom, except it's about those fuckers on the tarot cards. Strength still has the lion.

The nondescript background characters are clearly modeled on the minor suits.

There's a recurring gag involving an unnamed background character who's always carrying a bunch of swords whenever they appear getting bumped or jostled by whatever bullshit is going on in the A-plot and dropping all their swords, then being like "oh no, my swords!".

The obligatory "the gang has beef with their eerily similar counterparts from a rival school" episode, except the rival crew are clearly based on the Crowley tarot instead of the main crew's Rider-Waite.

As a Jew I wholeheartedly believe that, folks who are pretending nothing is wrong and Palestinians aren't being murdered every day would have absolutely ignored the Holocaust and let my folks get killed without blinking an eye.

Americans have a lot of heroic fantasies about what they would have done during the Holocaust or chattel slavery, and the answer for a lot of them is absolutely nothing. They would have complained about the people actually doing things for being too disruptive. We Jews did the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and they would have called this terrorism. They would have also complained about MLK and Malcolm X, the former of which took the economies of entire cities hostage. Modern day disruptions don't hold a candle to historical disruptions.

In a two of more decades, people are going to use excuses like "I didn't know!" or pretend they were supportive all along, making tear jerking films about the Palestinian plight. We need to not let them do this.

I'm also not asking people to be action heroes or anything, since it takes a very specific kind of person to do that sort of direct resistance. I'm asking for people to actually acknowledge and discuss the fact that there is a genocide going on, and to not pretend things are fine. (This applies to all social justice struggles. Acknowledgement helps normal conversations about it, and de-normalize the ignoring of it like we do for many social problems.)

Also there are many ways to support efforts for justice! The people doing direct action require people to support with costs, food, care supplies, etc. For everyone in a visible position, there are a lot of folks cooking as well.

Chinese zokor (Eospalax fontanierii). Despite their mole-like appearance, zokors are actually rodents, being closely related to blind mole rats and bamboo rats. But unlike other burrowing rodents, they dig using their claws and not their incisors!

They’re also really cute.

The dragon devouring serpents and the motto unius compendium, alterius stipendium ("the profit of one, the disprofit of others") was attributed to Cesare Borgia, who was seen as a dragon growing in strength by destroying those around him.
